Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denied claims that she is secretly wealthy, stating she is worth less than $500,000 and doesn’t trade stocks or take corporate money.
Her financial disclosures show modest savings and student debt.
Some conservatives on X, despite opposing her politics, praised her perceived integrity.
Accusations of political corruption have surged online, partly fueled by Elon Musk.
The job of being in congress pays 174k per year, so having some amount of money after doing that job for multiple years is inevitable.
AOC is one of the most outspoken leftists in the government. If anyone deserves the benefit of the doubt it is her.
Then she should realize that she’s rich compared to most US Americans. Obviously the wealth went to her head and now she’s out of touch with reality
